Silverman Five-Bets All In

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Steven Silverman opened under-the-gun and received a call from Phil Hellmuth. The player in the cutoff 3-bet to 1,450 but that was not the end of it at all. John Racener in the small blind made the 4-bet to 3,400 with about 10,000 behind. The big blind quickly folded but Silverman had other plans. He eyed the stacks of the aggressors behind him and eventually announced all in for about 11,500 total.

Hellmuth snap folded and, after giving it some thoughts, the cutoff also folded. Racener took ten seconds tops and then also threw his hand in the muck. Silverman gained a lot of chips and didn't even have to show his hand for it.
